Chapter 7 Botanical Gardens

After a brief meeting with the four of Iruka, Sean originally planned to spend some time to really see his territory, but in the end he gave up this idea and plunged into the back of the lord's mansion. In the botanical garden on the hillside.

"Lord Lord, the Green Field Botanical Garden started planning five years ago, started construction three years ago, and now it has been completed. All planning is carried out according to the drawings given by the family, and the most important ritual is the foundation of the natural field of the witch formation. Parts are also ready."

After passing the heavily guarded checkpoint, Iruka began to introduce the Green Field Botanical Garden to Sean.

"Lord Lord, you can see that this entire hillside belongs to the botanical garden, and protective walls are erected around it to prevent some wild animals from breaking in and damaging the precious plants inside."

Having said that, Sean and Iruka officially entered the Green Field Botanical Garden.

"Lord Lord, the entire Green Field Botanical Garden is roughly divided into three parts, the foot of the mountain, the side of the mountain, and the top of the mountain. The foot of the mountain is mainly planted with fruit trees, which we brought from the Old World and we collected in the New World."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Sean was quite interested. As a nature wizard, he was naturally curious about new types of plants.

Looking at the surrounding fruit trees, in addition to the apples, crispy pears, and coconuts he knew, there were indeed several that he did not know at all.

"Sir Iruka, what is that fruit tree?"

It's summer now, and most of the fruit trees don't bear fruit. As the only fruit trees that Sean doesn't know about, three rather peculiar fruit trees caught Sean's attention.

"This……"

Following Sean's gaze, Iruka felt a little embarrassed, because he didn't know this plant, but it was normal. After all, he was in charge of the administration of Greenfield Town, and he was not in charge of the specific things in the botanical garden. Fortunately, this Then a lady who came down from the mountain resolved his embarrassment.

Looking at the woman walking down the hillside, Iruka's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Hays, come here."

Hearing the greeting, the woman's eyes came over, and when she saw that the person calling her was Iruka, she immediately quickened her pace.

"Lord Lord, Hayes is one of the resident staff of the Green Field Botanical Garden, an outstanding graduate of Ivy League University's natural sciences, and also a funded object of the Oak Foundation. She is far more familiar with this place than I am."

Hearing this, Sean had a general understanding of Hayes' identity. The Ivy League University is the only university in Yorkshire where the Montell family is located. It has a close relationship with the Montell family. Although it is not as good as Foster University, its natural science and history are at the top level in the country, and the Oak Foundation is Montell. A scholarship fund established by the Montell family, whose main role is to subsidize poor civilian students, is responsible for their related expenses during their studies, and the corresponding students need to work for the Montell family after graduation to pay off their debts.

"Good day, Ser Iruka."

Quickly walking over, Hayes gave Iruka a lady salute. Although he didn't know Sean's identity, Hayes also gave him a salute.

"Hayce, let me introduce you, this is Sir Sean Montell, the lord of Greenfield Town."

Hearing Iruka's introduction, Haiyi's blue eyes showed a surprised look. Although she knew that Sean should be a person of status, she did not expect Sean to be the lord of Greenfield Town.

"Good day, Lord, please forgive my previous rudeness."

Unable to hide his surprise, Hayes once again saluted Sean as a lady.

To be honest, by Sean's standards, Hayes is not pretty, with long flaxen curly hair, aqua blue eyes, not prominent facial features, and small freckles on his face, but he looked at him saluting. The standard Hayes who looks like a model, Sean has to admit that this outstanding graduate of the Ivy League University has an intellectual aura.

"Hayce, Sir Iluka just told me that you are very familiar with this botanical garden, so could you please help me introduce this plant?"

Pointing to the three fruit trees bearing fruit, Sean said.

"My pleasure, my lord."

Naturally, Hayes would not refuse this simple request from Sean.

Glancing at the plant that Sean pointed to, Hayes said without hesitation:

"Lord Lord, this plant is called cosimi by the Cherokee people, and it is one of their daily food sources. The outside has a shell that is not hard, and the inside is white granular nuts, like It's corn with a husk."

Saying that, Hayes walked over and plucked a fruit from the Cosimi tree.

The size of the sago fruit is about the same as that of corn, and the color of the shell is various, including cyan, yellow, and red, and the one in Hayes' hands is a red one.

He took out a fruit knife from the pocket of his overalls, and after spinning it around the middle of the fruit, Hayes smashed it gently, and the fruit shell cracked, revealing the white pulp inside.

"Lord Lord, please take a look."

Taking the cosimi fruit from Hayes, Sean looked at the pulp that came out of the shell. As expected, as Hayes said, the pulp was like a grain of corn, but it was bigger. A lot, a lot fuller.

And looking at this kind of cocoa, Sean always felt that it was very similar to the cocoa fruit he saw on TV in his previous life, but he was a little unsure.

"Lord Lord, you can try it, but the pulp of sago is a little sour, but it also has a sweet taste, but the pulp of sago is not much, only the outer layer, and the bigger one is wrapped inside. Nutmeg..."

Seeing that Sean was very interested in Kesimi, Hayes introduced the taste of Kesimi to Sean.

Hearing Hayes' words, Sean didn't hesitate, took out a corn kernel-like pulp and put it in his mouth.

Sean had never eaten cocoa fruit in his previous life, so he didn't know if it tasted the same as cocoa, but looking at the gray-black core in his hand, Sean felt more and more that cocoa and cocoa were similar. If it is a similar species, then cocoa can become a good economic crop. After all, the chocolate made from cocoa raw materials in the previous life was marketed all over the world.

"Hays, what do you think of the plant like Cosimi?"

Hearing this, he looked at Sean who was still looking at the Kesimi fruit in his hand. After hesitating for a while, Hayes said his true thoughts.

"Lord Lord, according to the observations of my two colleagues and I, sago, although the plant has good resistance and environmental adaptability, the taste is average, and the pulp content is too low to be of great value."

After speaking, he quietly glanced at Sean and found that Sean's expression had not changed, and Hayes was relieved.

"Is that so, Hayes, are all the kosimi fruits ripe?"

With that said, Sean's topic suddenly turned a corner.

In this regard, although Hayes was a little confused, he quickly gave an answer.

"Lord Lord, these cosimi fruits are indeed ripe."

"Well, like this, Hayes, you will bring people to pick all these fruits later, ferment the pulp and the core together, then dry it first, then bake it, and finally polish it. Do a few more experiments to see what the final result is. In this way, if you encounter a problem with manpower or material resources during this process, you can ask Sir Iruka to help you solve it."

With that said, Sean turned his attention to Iruka.

"No problem, Lord Lord, I will provide Hayes with corresponding help."

Feeling Sean's gaze, Iruka gave his promise. Through Sean's words just now, he had already felt Sean's attention to this matter.

After making corresponding arrangements, Sean no longer pays more attention to Kesimi. He has other things to do. As for the final result, he does not know. After all, he is not sure whether Kesimi and Coco are similar. characteristic.
